You still don’t know how to set up hotkeys on Windows 7, and why they are needed? Hotkeys on Windows 7 are necessary for ease of use of the operating system. They help you quickly perform various operations on your computer by pressing a certain combination.

The operating system contains a built-in database of such commands; they are used by default. Some of them can be changed programmatically or assigned independently.

How to find a list of hotkeys

A list of keyboard shortcuts for quickly operating the OS is available in the Windows help system. You can find out the entire list of Windows 7 hotkeys by calling the MS Office Help window using the Win + F1 key combination.

Please remember that you will need an internet connection to use the help.

Next, from the list provided by the search engine, you can select the item of interest, for example, “Hot keys and shortcuts.” A website page will open in the browser, which contains descriptions of frequently used keyboard shortcuts.

The second way: you can find hotkeys on a laptop with Windows 7 using the built-in “Help and Support”. In this case, no Internet connection is required. Help is available in the “Main Menu”. Then the necessary information is selected from the list using the “Keyboard shortcut” request.

If you select the “Keyboard shortcuts” section through “Help and Support”, we will get all the necessary information. Descriptions of all possible combinations of hot buttons are divided into topics, which makes searching easier.

The keys are designed for quickly searching and editing texts in MS Office, performing any operation on the desktop without using a mouse, calling and closing a program, and other commands specified by the user. All described keyboard shortcuts are configured by default.

Default button combinations allow you to control OS objects. Secret Windows 7 hotkeys:

SHIFT+DELETE allows you to delete files from your hard drive without placing them in the Recycle Bin;
ALT+F4 or Ctrl + W closes the active program or file;
Ctrl + Shift + Esc brings up the task manager;
Win + F opens a search window;
Win + L locks the computer;
ALT+TAB allows you to move from one open file or window to another;
CTRL + mouse scroll wheel allows you to change the size of desktop icons;
Win + G places gadgets on top of open windows;
Win + Home allows you to minimize windows except the active one;
Ctrl + P submits documents for printing;
Win + X brings up the “Mobility Center” on the laptop;
Win + M minimizes open windows;
Shift + Ctrl + N allows you to create an empty folder.

How to assign hotkeys

Setting up Windows 7 hotkeys is usually done for programs that are frequently used by the user. Assigning hot keys is done through the “Main Menu” or the shortcut to “ “.

Assigning hot keys in Windows 7 is not difficult; to do this, you need to go to the “Properties” section of the selected program through a shortcut on the “Desktop” or “Main Menu”. In the “Shortcut” tab, place the cursor in the “Shortcut” line. When you simultaneously press the CTRL or ALT key and the desired letter of the Latin alphabet, the combination CTRL+ALT+selected letter is specified.

Please remember: if the combination used was previously assigned by default by the system, after completing this setup, you can change the Windows 7 hotkeys.

After pressing the assigned key combination, the specified program will open instead of the previously performed default action.

In many of our articles you can see text like: Win + R.
This text means that you need to press the combination of the Windows logo key and the letter on your keyboard R.
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that can be pressed to perform tasks that typically require the use of a mouse or other pointing device.

This list is more complete; most of the keyboard shortcuts are valid for other operating systems of the Windows family.

“We’re hot, but still not that hot!” — hotkeys about ourselves.

So, to make your work on the computer more productive and less tiring, I advise you to learn at least the basic hot keys; below is a list of combinations for Windows 7, although XP and 8 also support them. Let's go.

2. Banal Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Copy paste. - also do not require any special explanation. The first combination copies the selection to the clipboard (note: only one object can be stored in this same place; when using Ctrl+C again, the second one replaces the first). As for the second combination, it is already used for insertion. A definite must have! (jargon showing the absolute need to know something)

3. Ctrl+F. Search. Works almost everywhere. The thing is useful and painfully necessary.

4. This combination should be remembered by all laptop owners, without exception.

Fn+F6 (f6 in most cases) will disable the touchpad until the next reboot! How I missed this before!

5. Calculator. One click will not be enough here. You will have to do the following:

WIN+R -> calc -> Enter.

6. Close window / Shut down- Alt+F4. When an active window is open, it closes it (if it is a document or a project, you will be asked to save it). When you press it again, and if there are no programs running, Windows will prompt you to turn off the computer.

7. Changing the active window. - Alt+tab.

A very nice combination, which, along with Ctrl+C, must be learned and actively used. Allows you to switch between currently active applications in Windows. Moreover, if there are 2+ of them, then it is not necessary to press both of these buttons every time. Just hold down Alt and click on the tab

8. Ctrl+tab - almost the same as the top one, the only difference being that it switches not between active programs, but between browser tabs.

10. Ctrl+P - allows you to print the open one. After clicking, the print wizard will launch.

There are many more hotkeys for Windows, but the ones listed above are the bare minimum.

Setting up Windows 7 hotkeys

To set up hot keys, you don’t need to download any separate software, because everything you need is in Windows itself! And we will need...labels.

To make it clearer, I’ll give an example:

Do you want to restart/shut down your computer with one key? Easily.

Create a shortcut. (to do this, right-click on the desktop and look for the corresponding item in the menu that opens.). Then, in the “Object location” field, enter:

shutdown.exe -s -t 00 (this is a shutdown) or

shutdown.exe -r -t 00 (this is a reboot)

In the shortcut properties, assign a shortcut key - F1. All!

How to disable hotkeys?

Laptop users already know how to disable the touchpad, now it’s time to reveal another “secret”.

Disable Win-X

1. Go to Start. Then " All programs" — Standard, click on Command line;

2. Drive in “ gpedit.msc” (without quotes, of course)

4. We need to enable the “ Disable Windows+X keyboard shortcuts". After a reboot, the change will take effect.

Of course, this is not the most comprehensive information on the issue, but I don’t know more.

P.S. There is an opinion that there are secret combinations... Some kind of hot keys that no one knows about. Yes. 2 billion Windows users and no one is up to date...Really, what kind of kindergarten? However, if you know something, I will be glad to hear your opinion - the article is open for comments.

Interesting things on the blog:

Shortcut keys, which are also known as keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys, which, when pressed, have a finite set of one key or combination of two or more keys, will cause an operation or perform a task of the operating system or application, a program running on the operating system, or simply activate and run a program.

Keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys make it easier for the user to interact with the computer, otherwise typically requiring a mouse or other pointing device to perform the operation. Windows 7 includes a lot new keyboard shortcuts, which make it easier to work with menus and other commands. Usually, keyboard shortcuts are used to activate a command and are listed along with the command in the programs menu (to indicate what can be activated by pressing the Alt + key combination). Some of them are not on the list, they are hidden.
